"deferred in lieu of cash compensation as stock units under the Lilly Directors' Deferral Plan"

Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What did Eli Lilly (LLY) director Gabrielle Sulzberger report in this Form 4?

Gabrielle Sulzberger reported receiving a grant of 5.39 Eli Lilly common shares as compensation, valued at $919.90 per share. The award increases her direct holdings to 2,981.599 shares and reflects a routine, non-market transaction rather than an open-market stock purchase or sale.

Was the Eli Lilly (LLY) transaction an open-market buy or sell?

The transaction was not an open-market buy or sell. It was coded as a grant or award acquisition, meaning Sulzberger received 5.39 shares as part of her director compensation, with no market trade involved, and the shares were deferred into stock units under a company plan.

How many Eli Lilly (LLY) shares does Gabrielle Sulzberger hold after this filing?

After this compensation grant, Gabrielle Sulzberger directly holds 2,981.599 Eli Lilly common shares. The Form 4 shows this figure as her total direct ownership following the 5.39-share award, giving context for the relatively small size of this individual transaction versus her overall position.

What is the Lilly Directors' Deferral Plan mentioned in the Form 4?

The Lilly Directors' Deferral Plan allows directors to defer cash compensation into stock units instead of receiving cash immediately. In this filing, Sulzberger elected to defer her award, converting it into stock units that will later be settled in Eli Lilly common shares after her separation from board service.

At what price was the Eli Lilly (LLY) stock grant to Gabrielle Sulzberger valued?

The stock grant was valued at $919.90 per Eli Lilly common share. Applying this price to the 5.39-share award implies a grant value of roughly $5,000, reinforcing that this is a modest, routine director compensation item rather than a large insider trade or strategic share purchase.
